Features

  • Search the literature: search article fans out across PubTator3 and Europe PMC, deduplicates PMID/PMCID/DOI identifiers, and can add a Semantic Scholar leg when your filters support it.

  • Pivot without rework: move from a gene, variant, drug, disease, pathway, protein, or article straight into the next built-in view instead of rebuilding filters by hand.

  • Choose a playbook: biomcp skill list shows shipped worked examples so you can open the matching biomcp skill <slug> workflow.

  • Analyze studies locally: study commands cover local query, cohort, survival, compare, and co-occurrence workflows with native terminal, SVG, and PNG charts for downloaded cBioPortal-style datasets.

  • Follow the paper trail: article citations, article references, article recommendations, and article entities turn one known paper into a broader evidence map.

  • Enrich and batch: use biomcp enrich for top-level g:Profiler enrichment and biomcp batch for up to 10 focused get calls in one command.
